Wojciech Szczesny admits that AC Milan were the better team after Arsenal's 4-0 defeat at the San Siro in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny admitted that AC Milan were the better team after his side's 4-0 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at the San Siro.

Goals from Kevin-Prince Boateng, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a brace from Robinho have given the Gunners a tough task when they host the Italians for the second leg on Tuesday, March 6.

"We didn't have the best of games but we have to give credit to Milan who punished us on every goal," Szczesny told ITV Sport. "They were the better team on the day.

"They are the best attacking players in the world and playing against Ibrahimovic, he's up there as one of the best strikers I've played against. We have to keep fighting and get our confidence back now."

Arsenal will now turn their attention to their FA Cup fifth-round tie at Sunderland on Saturday.
